Lethal Cosmetics Nightflower Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Lethal Cosmetics Nightflower Pressed Powder Palette

Nightflower

Lethal Cosmetics Nightflower Pressed Powder Palette ($47.00 for 0.68 oz.) included six matte shades and six shimmer shades. The mattes tended to be on the more powdery side with a few shades being surprisingly sheer, so I would recommend using a primer with this palette to make it workable. The shimmers had light fallout as they were sometimes more loosely-pressed but still delivered good pigmentation and applied without much trouble.

Allure is a light, yellowed peach base with moderate, warm undertones and a sparkling duochrome finish that shifted from gold to pink.

  • Opaque coverage
  • Smooth, soft, not too firmly nor too loosely-pressed
  • Blendable, easy to work with
  • Long-wearing (8 hours)

Formula Overview

$6.00/0.06 oz. – $100.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have “extreme pigmentation” and “effortless blendability” … “that [will] last all day.” There are two primary finishes: mattes and metallics, and the latter can also be used wet.

The matte finish has semi-opaque to opaque color coverage with moderate powderiness; it’s a formula that is best used with a lighter hand. There was light fallout with some shades, though not at all, and they were blendable for the most part. Even with a light hand, there was still a bit of powderiness present–the brand did warn about using less with their formula–in the pan.

There were a few darker shades that had a tendency to sheer out when applied or did not apply as evenly, especially when layered over a lighter shade but most of the mid-tone and lighter shades were easy to apply and blend out. As a result, I found myself having better results by going dark to light rather than light to dark (which is more in line with how I typically work).

The metallic finish ranged from creamier, denser, and a bit thicker to softer, dense but still a little powdery (usually the lighter, more white-based shades). They were mostly opaque to fully opaque in a single layer, so they didn’t need to be applied with a wet brush to achieve coverage or adhesion. I found that some of the more powdery, shimmery shades were more flattering on the lid when used with a fingertip or a dampened brush, though.

The matte eyeshadows tended to wear around eight hours on me before fading, while the shimmer shades lasted eight to eight and a half hours on me.
